The New York Post is a daily news outlet based in New York, New York. The paper is owned by News Corporation and is the United States' oldest published daily newspaper.[1]
Background
The New York Post was founded on November 16, 1801, by the first U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton and a group of investors from the Federalist Party (led by Hamilton at the time). The first editor was William Coleman, but a more well-known editor was William Cullen Bryant, an abolitionist and poet. Jesse Angelo became the executive publisher and CEO of the New York Post in 2009.[1][2][3]
From 1976 to 1988, the paper was owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation. When News Corporation acquired WNYW TV Channel 5, the organization had to sell the paper due to FCC regulations regarding cross-ownership. Peter S. Kalikow then acquired the Post and owned it from 1988 until he declared bankruptcy in 1993. The News Corporation re-purchased the New York Post at that time.[1]

Work and activities
As of August 2025, the New York Post's website said the following about its editorial standards:[5]
| “ | The New York Post, Page Six and Decider are committed to accurate and aggressive reporting presented in a way that engages our millions of daily newspaper and digital readers.
We offer a common-sense perspective on issues and politics, giving fair time to newsmakers and viewpoints often ignored by other media. We aim to be first, but not at the expense of being right. Every fact is checked for accuracy and our editors and producers review stories for balance and fairness before publication. We put a premium on investigative, enterprise, exclusive and unique reporting. The news team offers comprehensive and deeply researched coverage, utilizing every available resource and journalistic tool. We base our reports, whenever possible, on original interviews, observation, court documents, government data, information gleaned via federal and state Freedom of Information requests, police and official reports, and on-site reporting. More than most media organizations, we are present where news is made. Along with dispatching journalists to wherever news breaks, we maintain permanent bureaus in four state and federal courthouses, NYPD headquarters, NYC City Hall, the state Capitol in Albany, and in Washington, D.C. Our award-winning sports department covers nearly every major event in person, from the Super Bowl to the four golf majors and the US Open in tennis, and assigns beat writers and columnists to the home and away games of the Mets, Yankees, Giants, Jets, Knicks, Nets, Rangers, Islanders and St. John’s basketball. We also cover women’s sports in depth, including the Liberty and Gotham FC. Our critics review Broadway shows, concerts, film openings and TV premieres without fear or favor. Our Page Six team goes where the action – and A-listers – are, from Oscar parties to Cannes to Art Basel in Miami. If and when our stories necessitate reporting by outside news organizations, we employ authoritative newswire agencies and cite these sources. When using outside media sources, we undertake to independently check facts and seek interviews with subjects. Our network’s journalists use on-the-record interviews whenever possible, but when relying on confidential sources, will endeavor to protect confidentiality particularly when the source fears retaliation. We never pay sources, tipsters, whistle-blowers, government officials, witnesses or subjects for interviews or information. Our network employs professional journalists, carefully vetted for education, experience and excellence. We provide regular journalism ethics training to our reporters, editors and producers. In addition, employees complete training seminars in the areas of anti-harassment and -discrimination, anti-corruption and -bribery; cybersecurity; consumer and data privacy; anti-trust; government compliance; standards of business conduct. We do not use artificial intelligence (AI) to write content. We employ our own videographers, photo editors and web producers. When publishing outside images, we endeavor to license videos and stills from only trustworthy and authenticated sources and to adhere to all copyright laws and fair-use guidelines. Anyone who wishes to file a request for a correction or clarification can contact the newsroom at 212-930-8500. The determination whether to correct or clarify is made by the editorial team. News content is not influenced by advertisers, sponsors or external parties. We are committed to editorial independence and impartiality, free from outside influence. We label editorials, columns, commentary and sponsored content as such, clearly differentiating them from news coverage. Op-ed pieces must meet the highest standards of accuracy. We are The Post, Page Six and Decider: Our mission is to inform, with style and flair. We take strong stands. We write provocative and sometimes hilarious headlines. We do not shy away from controversy, nor do we equivocate. We always tell it like it is.[6] |
